pizza colours

I love a good pizza and splash of colours to my food under superb day light.

Inspiration

The road always lies ahead. It's about finding wisdom and catching the rays of inspiration while they last.

chill-out run & brekkie

I spent a very comfortable Saturday morning first pounding the tarmac in the relentless rain, then chilling out at a cafe nestled away in the fringe of the city. After almost 5 months of hectic work and consequent inactivity, it felt good to be in my running gear again, conquering the road foot by foot, breath by breath, from metres to miles.

The cool rainy weather was enjoyable, so was the running route which took the three of us through a quiet cemetry. It was the perfect time to be out and running, for the rain was not heavy enough to pose a safety hazard, yet persistent enough to deter most people from taking to the outdoor. The ominously dark sky certainly had a hand in this foutitous circumstance. Being in good company, I actually didn't mind the wetness and loved every bit of pounding the tarmac whilst sustaining conversations throughout the run. As I said to Eugene, I liked the part about having a shower and getting changed into clean clothes and slippers after each run. The endorphins would be nicely at work around this time, and I would feel all freshened up.

For breakfast (we've been looking forward to this even before that day), we headed to a somewhat indie cafe that is tucked away at a nondescript industrial buiding. I've heard and come across the cafe online, just never had a chance to visit it. The best part about our post-run brekkie was the cool and breezy weather that continued, which we enjoyed by eating alfresco.

I am now very much looking forward to the next run. I just hope it won't be another 5-month intermission before it takes place!

Tokyobike ♥

It's difficult not to like Tokyobikes. The bikes are sleek and simple, the pastel colours have a refreshing appeal and the whole package resonates with what I think is its design objective: simple, classic and delightful. Going back to the basics and keeping things simple never run out of date. There's a place for simplicity and minimalism in life, in a way that is supposed to counter the complications and clutter that life inevitably clocks up.

I hope some time in the future I would be able to own a Tokyobike. The only pity is there isn't much of a countryside or charming small town to go around on a bike. This also means I can say goodbye to romantic ideas of picking wild flowers and putting into the bike basket, or cycling uninterrupted past idyllic fields with blue sky and fluffy clouds above.

All right. I shall stop dreaming.
